I’ve had people on a local forum who bought me games on Steam and I later wire transfered them money in bank because I didn’t have credit card yet back then. I had some presence there as security and tech “guru”, but they didn’t actually know me.

One even lend me his entire Steam account for a while to play his CounterStrike:Source coz he wasn’t playing it. Later I bought the Orange Box myself, that one was actually from retail lol, still have the box.
